GPS: Genetic Prompt Search for Efficient Few-shot Learning

This is the implementation of the paper GPS: Genetic Prompt Search for Efficient Few-shot Learning. GPS is an automatic prompt search method based on genetic algorithm for better few-shot learning.

Overview

In this paper, we introduce Genetic Prompt Search (GPS) to improve few-shot learning with prompts, which utilizes a genetic algorithm to automatically search for high-performing prompts. GPS is gradient-free and requires no update of model parameters but only a small validation set.

You can find more details of this work in our paper.

How to reproduce our results

1. Install dependencies:
   • transformers==4.15
   • datasets==1.16
   • pytorch
   • accelerate
   • yaml
   • jinja2
   • pandas
   • numpy
   • tqdm
   • sentencepiece
   • sklearn
   • protobuf==3.20.0
2. Download model checkpoints:
   • cd pretrained_model
   • Download T0
   • Download T5-xxl
3. Prepare the data
   • We have put the data in ./T0_dataset
4. Prepare initial templates
   • We have put the initial templates in ./templates
5. Run GPS: python ga_processer_t0.py
6. Get output templates and eval:
   • The output files are stored in the ./ga_t0_t5_lm by default
   • We also provide output templates reported in our paper(in ./ga_t0_t5_lm_maxstep9).
   • Run command to launch the evaluation: sh run_all_eval.sh
